Weirdly I had just looked him up the other day. As a kid for some reason I was really interested in backup goalkeepers and I loved the idea that there was this quality underdog on the bench who could come on and be a hero for his team in a pinch. I guess it's just the way 7 year olds watch football sometimes but I was particularly fond of him and thought he was a great keeper hidden away. Very sad to hear he's died
